Why it’s worth doing now in Burwash
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Burwash, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Fire rated sealant in Burwash
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We’re often asked to deal with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Burwash is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Burwash
Do you work for landlords with property near Stonegate station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Burwash?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Workplaces and buildings in Burwash
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Stonegate station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Bartholomew are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What affects the quote in Burwash
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
When to call us in Burwash
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burwash CofE School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Burwash, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
